(cThePush) dModels/Balloons and plugin to denizen script

[placid fjord]

Hello everyone,

I am coding a script that I called "agathion" and I found a plugin called Balloons(https://jeqo.net/bloons) and I want to do something like this on denizen just to help me understand more about the language and programming in general, and I notice that balloons use armor and a chicken to do this, my question is can we do this on denizen, and it will be optimized or using the plugin is the right way?

*Note that I want to change how the plugin works I don't want to be a balloon just an entity that follow the player on his shoulder

**Note again I already try to use the parrot but realized that when the parrot goes to your shoulder it despawn and store on a player mechanism(left_shoulder and right_shoulder) and I cannot change the appearance of the entity.

yeah you can def do that in denizen

at first glance it just looks like a leashed entity with disabled gravity

[placid fjord]

yeah but I need to figure it out how to fix the position and remove the leash

[mild tide]

oop yeah that's a completely different thing

its still possible, but might become laggy

bc you'd have to check for every single slight movement and move the "balloon" accordingly

oh wait

can you not have it as a parrot?

parrots can just sit on your shoulder

look at the note

[mild tide]

oh, oop

I am investigating this plugin and trying to understand if they use constant teleport or just rely on the leash.

[mild tide]

probably the leash

Figure it out, they use constant teleportation 🙂 now I will try to code this on denizen.
